Course Management: Safe, Risky, and Stupid

If I hit it, it was probably the stupid way to go. I am goign to work on Course Management this year, 2006.

It depends on the context. I play Skins every weekend, and if i hit a bad drive, i might go for a shot that i'll only pull off once in 100 times to get myself in birdie position on a hole i know par wont win on. If i was playing stroke play, it would be downright stupid to do that, so i play more conservatively.
